AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its foundation has been to offer the very best educational advantages under positive Christian influences—the training and furnishing of the mind in a modern, well-equipped college, and at the same time the formation and development of

Christian character and ideals. Along with these ends, it is constantly sought to cultivate true womanliness, a womanliness which combines strength with gentleness and refinement.

It is thus the aim of the College to send out educated Chris- tian women to be a power in blessing the world and glorify- ing God.

The College was founded by Presbyterians, and hence its moral standards and religious life conform as nearly as possible to those which obtain in that church. Special care, however, is taken not to interfere in any way with the religious views or church preferences of students.

The College offers only the B.A. degree. There are, however, optional courses leading to this degree, thus giving the opportunity for each student to elect a course most in accord with her special talent and plans. :

Admission of Students 13

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

All correspondence in reference to admission of students should be addressed to the President of the College.

Applicants for admission should not be under sixteen years of age. Candidates for advanced standing should be of an age corresponding to this rule. Exceptions are allowed for satisfactory reasons.

Testimonials of good character from responsible persons are required. Certificates of honorable dismission from the last school attended must be presented.

A deposit of $10.00 is necessary for the reservation of space, which amount will be credited on bill rendered at beginning of season. This fee will be refunded, provided the

President is notified of change of plan before August 1st.

Application blanks will be furnished when requested.

For entrance requirements and for description of entrance subjects, see below.

For admission by certificate, see page 19.

For entrance examinations, see page 20.

ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

The following subjects are accepted for entrance

English 3 units Mathematics 3 or 4 units Latin 3 or 4 units

History 1, 2 or 2^^ units French 2 or 3 units German 2 or 3 units Greek 2 or 3 units Spanish 2 units :

14 Agnes Scott College

Physics 1 unit

Chemistry 1 unit Biology Botany % or 1 unit

Zoology y^. or 1 unit Physiology % unit Physiography i^ unit

*Bible 1 unit

A unit represents a year's study in a standard secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's work.

It is understood that in choosing the elective units no required unit may be counted also as an elective unit, and also that elective units may be counted only once.

The fourth unit in Latin and the unit in addition to the required 3 units in Mathematics will be accepted for entrance only by examination, when the student does not continue these subjects in College.

Both Physics and Chemistry when not offered for entrance must be taken in College, and when both are offered for entrance, an advanced course in one or the other must be taken in College. The entrance requirement work in French, German, and Greek may be done in College after entrance, but will not count toward the degree.

STANDING TO WHICH STUDENTS ARE ADMITTED

The College admits students: (I) as unconditioned Fresh- men; (II) as conditioned Freshmen; (III) as irregular students; (IV) to advanced standing; (Y) as special students.

I. As Unconditioned Freslimen. For admission to the

16 Agnes Scott College

II. As Conditioned Freshmen. Applicants desiring to enter as candidates for the B.A. degree who can not ofEer the full fifteen units required for unconditioned entrance, may be admitted as conditioned Freshmen, if they can present a minimum of twelve unconditioned units. The remaining units necessary to complete the required fifteen may be assumed as conditions, provided that the deficiency in no single subject (except in the case of a modern language or Greek) shall amount to more than a year of preparatory work in that subject; and further provided that at least two and one-half unconditioned units in English and at least two unconditioned units in Mathematics shall be presented. Stu- dents entering with conditions in one or in two subjects must make good such deficiency by the beginning of the Sophomore year. Should there be a condition in a third subject, it must be removed by the beginning of the Junior year.

III. As Irregular Students. Candidates who desire to take a partial course, without becoming candidates for the degree, may be admitted to the College as irregular students without class standing. Such students must present twelve units for entrance. Of this number five are prescribed namely, English 3 and Mathematics 2. The remaining seven units are elective and may be chosen from the lists of subjects accepted for entrance (pages 13, 14).

These students are required to take a minimum of fifteen hours of recitation a week, which may include Music and Art, but at least nine hours must be academic work.

Should they later desire to arrange their courses for the degree, credit will be given them for work already done in the College, but they must meet all of the entrance requirements of degree students. :

Admission of Students 17

IV. To Advanced Standing. A candidate may be admitted to any of the higher classes on the following con-

ditions :

1. She must present

a. An honorable dismissal from the college she has at-

I tended,

b. An official statement of entrance requirements and how absolved.

c. An official statement of studies pursued for credit.

d. A catalogue of the institution with her completed courses marked.

e. An application for advanced credit properly filled out by the candidate upon a blank provided by Agnes Scott Col- lege for this purpose.

Note.—If the above certificates are not entirely satisfactory, a detailed statement of individual professors will be required.

2. She must satisfy the entrance requirements of this College. If necessary, credits presented for advanced standing may be used to satisfy any deficit in the entrance requirements.

If as few as ten units have been presented for entrance into the college from which the candidate comes, no credit will be given towards the degree for courses that may remain after deduction for entrance deficiency, except upon examination.

3. When she comes from a college belonging to the Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern 18 Agnes Scott College

States, or to an association of at least equal standing, she will be given tentative credit course by course, in so far as the courses are, in the opinion of the heads of the departments concerned, equivalent to courses offered in this College. An examination on the work offered for advanced standing may be required at any time, if the student's work should prove unsatisfactory.

4. If she comes from a college which offers the B.A. degree, but which is not a member of any one of the associations referred to above, she may, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Advanced Standing in consultation with the heads of the departments concerned, be admitted to courses which continue the work of the courses offered for advanced standing. Upon the satisfactory completion of these courses she may be given such credit for the preliminary work as the heads of the departments involved may deem just, full credit being given only in exceptional cases. No credit, except by examination, will be given for subjects not continued in this College.

5. If she comes from an institution not included in any one of the above classes, she will be required to take examinations for any advanced credit she may desire.

6. The B.A. degree will not be conferred on any student who has not done fifteen hours of work in residence for one complete session immediately preceding graduation.

V. As Special Students. In accordance with the regu- j lation prescribed by "The Association of Colleges and | Secondary Schools of the Southern States," candidates of |

maturity, who are unable, for any cause, to present the en- :

trance requirements, may be admitted to such courses as they I may be prepared to take, provided these courses are not among i :

Admission of Students 19 those covered by the entrance requirements. This provision is intended to afford an opportunity to two classes of women

(1) Those who have completed their entrance requirements so long since as to render them void; (2) Those whose preparatory work has been interrupted in the past and never resumed. The following limitations should be observed:

1. Applicants must be not less than twenty years of age at the time of application.

3. They may not matriculate in any courses covered by the entrance requirements without first satisfying the requirements in those subjects.

3. They have no class standing. If they desire later to transfer to the regular degree course^ they must first satisfy the full entrance requirements.

4. If they have completed the entrance requirements in accredited schools not more than two years previously, they will be expected to submit the certificates of such schools, and enter as "regular," or as "irregular" students, and not as "special" students.

DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

English

English, three units.—The College entrance requirements of the New England, Middle, and Southern States Asso- ciations of Colleges and Secondary Schools constitute the entrance work in English.

The requirement in English has two branches, Ehetoric and English Literature. The study of English should be continuous throughout the four years of the high-school course.

I. Ehetoric and Composition, one unit and a half.—It is hoped that at least one-half of the high-school course in English will be devoted to the work in composition and Ehetoric, either as a separate study or in connection with the work in literature, as it is a prime essential to success in any branch of collegiate work that the student be able to express herself, both orally and in writing, with correctness and clearness. The subjects for examination in composition will be taken from the English Literature required for 1917-18. The form of the examination will usually be the writing of several paragraphs on each of several topics to be chosen by the candidate from a number set before her in the examination paper in English Literature. The treatment of these topics is designed to test the student's power of clear and accurate expression, and will call for only a general knowledge of the books.

To meet this requirement in composition:

1. There should he practice in writing, the equivalent of at least one theme a week during the four years of her preparatory course. She must be able to spell, capitalize, and 23 Agnes Scott College punctuate correctly; no candidate will be accepted whose work is notably deficient in this respect. She must also have a practical knowledge of English grammar.

2. There should be a systematic study of Ehetoric. Par- ticular attention should be given to the structure of the sentence, paragraph, and whole composition. The following books are recommended for study in preparation : In Ehetoric, Herrick and Damon's Composition and

Rhetoric; Scott and Denney's Composition-Ehetoric ; Ge- nung's Outlines of Ehetoric; Hill's Foundations of Ehetoric; Brook and Hubbard's Ehetoric; Webster's English Compo- sition and Literature.

Desceiption of Entrance Subjects 25

2. Study and Practice (1917-18).—This part of the examination presupposes the thorough study of each of the works named below. The examinations will be upon subject- matter, form, and structure.

In addition, the candidate may be required to answer questions involving the essentials of English grammar, and questions on the leading facts in those periods of English literary history to which the prescribed works belong. The books provided for study are arranged in four groups, from each of which one selection is to be made

A. Drama. Shakespeare : Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Ham- let.

B. Poetry. Milton : L'Allegro, II Penseroso, and either

Comus or Lycidas. Tennyson : The Coming of Arthur, The Holy Grail, and the Passing of Arthur. The selections from Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley in Book IV of Palgrave's Golden Treasury (First Series).

J CURKICULUM 37

CURRICULUM ADMINISTRATION OF THE CURRICULUM

REGISTRATION

Students report first to the Registrar's office, where they are registered and given their matriculation cards. They then meet with the appropriate Committees for classification.

CLASSIFICATION

Students are expected to make themselves thoroughly fa- miliar with the plan of the curriculum and to arrange their courses so as to conform with its demands. By so doing they will greatly reduce the necessarily arduous work of the Committees.

First year students present their cards to the Committee on Admission, and their courses are selected with the advice of this Committee. On or before April fifteenth, all students at that time in residence are required to file with the Registrar tentative statements of their courses for the next ensuing year. These programmes are reviewed by the Com- mittee on Electives and approved or revised. The cards, with the courses entered upon them in due form, are obtained from the Registrar in the fall, presented to the professors of the subjects, and, when they have been properly signed, re- turned to the Registrar's office.

After a course has been agreed upon by the student, with the advice of the Committee on Admission or the Committee on Electives, no change will be permitted, unless the question 38 Agnes Scott College of the student's health be involved. All students must be definitely classified within two weeks after their arrival at the College.

ATTENDANCE ON LECTURES

Students are required to attend their lectures regularly and promptly. Absence from courses without due excuse results inevitably iu the lowering of the student's standing. Pro- fessors are authorized to require students to make up work by taking written tests covering the periods lost through absence, whether the absence be excused or unexcused.

Attendance upon lectures is counted from the beginning of each course, and students are held responsible accord- ingly.

EXAMINATIONS

1. General examinations are held twice a year, in Jan- uary and in May. Failure to attend any of these examinations, for any cause other than sickness, results in the drop- ping of the delinquent from the student body. In case of absence from examination because of sickness, the student will be given an opportunity to take the examination in question at the regular time set for re-examinations. (See below.)

2. Examinations for advanced standing upon work don| in some other institution, or in the summer, must be takei at such time as may be arranged for by the professors whos^ departments are concerned, provided that such examinatioi may not be given later than December fifteenth for the firsj semester's work, nor later than April fifteenth for the seel ond semester's work. These examinations for advance^ standing are more extended than ordinary examinations, bej Curriculum 39 ing in no case less than five hours in duration. In the case of failure on an examination for advanced standing, no re- examination is permitted.

3. Ee-examinations are allowed in case of conditional failure. These examinations for the first semester's work are given in the second week of the second semester, and for the

second semester's work in the first week of the fall semester next following. Those failing in the re-exaraination will be required to repeat the course in question or forfeit the credit. In no case will more than one re-examination be allowed in the same subject. In case of unconditional failure in a subject, no re-examination will be allowed.

4. If for any cause students find it advisable to apply for examinations at any other time than that announced in the regular schedule, or arranged for by the professors involved, such applicants must present the Eegistrar's receipt for five dollars ($5.00) for each examination desired, before the professors are authorized to give the same. Such examinations are known as "Special" examinations.

This regulation applies to re-examinations as well as to general and advanced examinations.

SEMESTER AND YEAR CREDITS

A semester credit is the value in half hours of any course pursued through one semester. Thus, if a course scheduled for three hours a week for one semester be taken, the re- sulting credit towards the sixty-two hours required for the

degree is one hour and a half. A year credit is the value in hours of a course pursued throughout the year. Thus, a course scheduled for three hours a week for the whole year will give a credit of three hours towards the degree. :

40 Agnes Scott College

MERIT HOURS

The grades announced to students as the indication of their success or failure in any course are: "Passed with Merit/' "Passed," "Failed with privilege of re-examination/'

or "Failed." In order to attain the Bachelor of Arts degree, a student must average the grade, "Passed with Merit" on at least thirty of the sixty-two hours required for the degree. Of these thirty "Merit" hours, at least six must be made in the Senior year. On the remaining thirty-two hours the grade "Passed" must be made.

REQUIRED RESIDENCE

The degree will not be conferred upon any student who has not done at least one full session of work in residence.

AUTOMATIC EXCLUSION

It is the purpose of the College to extend every possible encouragement to students in their work, and to deal in fair- ness and sympathy with all who are unable to meet satisfactorily the demands of its standards. It is clearly recognized that there are many who require time for the readjustments of college life, and abundant experience has shown that some of those who are slow in adapting themselves to the new environment afterwards develop into strong and thoughtful

students. The first year in college is necessarily a time of testing, and in some cases the whole of this year is neededj

fair trial of the student's possibilities. for a : On the other! hand, it would seem dishonest to the standard of the College,] to the student herself, and to her parents, to retain her in the institution after her inability to achieve definite results has been clearly established. Therefore the following rule of exclusion has been adopted and put into operation

i :

Curriculum 41

"Any student whose work is notably unsatisfactory at the end of the first semester shall be put on probation for the remainder of the year. If at the end of the year she shall have failed to make credits to the extent of at least two year courses, amounting to not less than five hours towards the degree, she shall be considered to have excluded herself auto- matically from the College for the next ensuing year."

THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE

THE GROUP SYSTEM

A fundamental principle of the arrangement of the courses for the B.A. degree is that of the group system, which comes into operation in the choice of elective courses. By requiring a certain amount of work to be elected from each of the three groups, the College assures to its B.A. graduates proper breadth of culture; and by requiring a major subject, together with allied subjects, to be chosen from one of the groups, it gives to the student also the intensive training necessary for the best mental development.

The groups are as follows

GROUP I GROUP II GROUP III Language— History— Science— LiTKBATURE Philosophy Mathematics English Sociology and Astronomy Latin Economics Biology Greek History Chemistry German Philosophy Home Economics French Education Mathematics Spanish Bible Physics :

42 Agnes Scott College

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE

Candidates for the B.A. degree must present sixty-two hours of work, of which two hours' value must be made in Physical Education. Of the remaining sixty hours twenty- nine are prescribed and thirty-one elective. All courses are planned and electives chosen with the advice of the Committee on Admission or the Committee on Electives. Since the de-

sign of the curriculum is to reserve elective courses for the

more mature years of the student, the Committees will allow postponement of the work prescribed for the Freshman and Sophomore years only in such cases as may for special reasons demand this procedure. (See Note 5, page 45.)

*1. The prescribed hours are as follows:

English 6 hours A Modern Language, or Greek 6 hours Mathematics 3 hours Physics or Chemistry 3 hours Biology iy2 hours History 3 hours Bible Sy^ hours Philosophy 3 hours

29 hours

2. The elective hours are to be distributed among the three groups as follows

(a) A major subject of not less than nine hours must be chosen, together with six hours from the same group in addition to the major and the prescribed courses falling in

*One hour semester courses in Hygiene and Spoken English are required of all Freshmen.

The Spoken English is not counted towards the degree. For Hygiene, see page 92. Curriculum 43 this group. The choice of the major subject must be settled by the beginning of the Junior year.

Major courses are offered in the following subjects: English, French, German, Latin, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Philosophy.

(b) Three hours must be chosen in each of the other groups in addition to the prescribed courses in these groups.

(c) The remaining hours necessary to complete the requirement of sixty-two hours may be chosen at will, subject to the following restrictions:

(1) Not more than six hours may be taken in one department in any semester.

(2) Students offering for entrance two languages in addition to Latin must continue one of these two languages in the Freshman year. Students offering for entrance Latin and only one other language must continue that other language in the Freshman year. This rule comes into operation in the choice of the group of studies to be taken in the Fresh- man year.

(3) One year of a foreign language may be counted in making up the requirements for the degree only when that language is the fourth language that the student has taken.

(4) One-hour courses may be taken only in connection with two-hour or three-hour courses in the same subject.

(5) If a third language is taken in College for entrance credit, it must be continued through Course 1.

(6) Students offering for entrance neither Chemistry nor Physics must take both subjects in College, one being elected in the Freshman year and the other later in the course. 44 Agnes Scott College

3. In order to receive the required two hours' credit in Physical Education, the student must have completed three years of work in this department. Special arrangements will be made for those entering with advanced standing.

4, For the requirements as to "Merit" hours and residence, see page 40. OUTLINE OF COURSES

The following outline indicates the courses that are offered to each class. The work of the Freshman class is prescribed,' but in optional groups. The unenclosed figures refer to the courses of instruction as announced by the department, and the figures in parentheses indicate the number of recitations or lectures a week in each course.

•Note 1. —Students offering only three units in Latin for entrance must take Group B.

ISToTE 2.—Students offering for entrance one unit in a third language, instead of the fourth unit in Latin, must continue this third language in College, or take an examination on the work offered.

Note 3.—Students offering four units in Latin for entrance, even from accredited schools, who do not wish to continue Latin in College, are required to pass an examination covering both the Latin read in the last preparatory year and the entrance requirement in Latin prose composition.

Note 4.—A student who has presented neither Physics nor Chemistry for entrance must elect one of these sciences in the Freshman year and take History in the Sophomore year. If either Physics or Chemistry has been presented for entrance, the other of these sciences and History must be elected, one in the Freshman year and the other in the Sophomore year. Curriculum 45

Note 5. —Subjects prescribed for the Sophomore year may be postponed until some future year, with the consent of the Committee on Electives, provided the change is sought for one or more of the following reasons : ( 1 ) To afford opportunity for the continuation of a subject, or subjects, begun in the Freshman year. (2) To make possible the beginning of a major subject in which the student is particularly interested. (3) To enable the student to take Philos- ophy 1 as a pre-requisite for desired courses in Education. 1 I

MUSIC Professor Maclean. Mb, Dieckmann. Mr. Johnson. Miss Hunt. Mrs. Johnson.

The Music Department offers through its various courses in the theoretical and practical study of music, in connection with studies in the College, adequate facilities to fit students for a professional life, and also to provide for the study of music as a part of general culture or as an accomplishment.

The aim is to cultivate a more intelligent appreciation of the art, to understand its structure and its rich and varied literature, to know the history of its development, its place in the general history of culture, and to develop the power of interpretation.

Since no special line of study can be successful without a broad foundation, students are urged not to undertake the study of music exclusively, until they have acquired the essential elements of a good general education.

With this end in view, the work of this school has been rearranged, and courses are offered, so that regular College students, working for a degree, may include music as a secondary study, with full credit for it, and special students of music may avail themselves of the training offered in the literary courses of the College.

Montgomery, Jacksonville, Savannah, St. Louis, Nashville, and many intermediate points.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

The buildings of the College, twenty in number, including several cottages occupied by members of the faculty, are situated upon a well-shaded and spacious campus of rare natural beauty. With the exception of the White House, the In-

firmary and the Laundry, all the principal buildings are sub- stantially constructed of brick, with trimmings of granite,

limestone, or marble. Eeaders of this Bulletin will be especially interested in such of these buildings as form the working plant of the institution, and so the following brief descrip-

tion is given. Application may be made to the Eegistrar for any special information that may be desired concerning the halls of residence.

Academic Halls

The Agnes Scott Hall was the gift of the late Colonel George W. Scott, the revered and generous friend of the

College by whose munificence its existence was originally made possible. This building contains the offices of administration, besides various lecture-rooms, reception rooms, the

Art studio, and piano practice rooms. It is centrally situated

and easily accessible from all parts of the campus, (See also Eesidence Halls, below.)

The Carnegie Library, the gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie,

is a two-story structure containing a lofty and spacious read- :

104 Agnes Scott College

ing-room, librarian's offices, special department study rooms, and stack space for twenty thousand volumes. The College library, occupying the Carnegie building, consists of over seven thousand carefully selected volumes, exclusive of pamph- lets, etc. The most approved card index system of cata- loguing and the services of a trained librarian render all books easily available to students. The reading-rooms are supplied with the leading literary, scientific, and educational magazines, and with journals of music and art. In addition to the general library, mention should be made of the scientific library in Lowry Hall, and of the excellent collections belonging to the two literary societies.

The Lowry Hall affords excellent accommodation for the departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. It is equipped throughout with all appliances necessary for the proper teaching of these subjects, including electricity, gas, and hot and cold water, both in the lecture-rooms and in the various laboratories. On the left side of the main entrance is a bronze tablet with this inscription

"This Science Hall is perpetually endowed by Eobert J. and Emma C. Lowry in Memory of their Son, William Markham Lowry, Anno Domini, 1910."

The Biological Department contains two laboratories, a lecture room, a professor's office and library, a vivarium, a photographic room, a storage room, and a museum. The work of instruction and research commands the aid of suitable apparatus, such as microscopes, microtomes, ovens, baths, charts, and illustrative collections.

The Chemical Department is well supplied with chemicals and chemical apparatus and the laboratories have every modern convenience that could be desired. Besides a large General Information 105 basement, there are five commodious laboratories, a lecture room, a research laboratory, a professor's oflBce, a library, three storage rooms, and two balance rooms.

In addition to these laboratories a geological museum is being equipped, and already a considerable number of fossils and mineralogical specimens are on hand. This museum will be of great value and interest to the students in geology.

The Physics Department contains a large lecture room, a professor's office and reference library, a dark room, a large and well-equipped laboratory, and two store rooms.

The Home Economics Hall contains, on its lower floor, a lecture-room, a laboratory, with individual equipment for work in food preparation, home sanitation, nutrition, and dietetics, and a model dining-room attractively furnished for the proper serving of meals. The upper floor of the building is occupied by the lecture-rooms of English and Philoso- phy.

The Gymnasium Hall is a three-story building containing, besides the gymnasium proper, various lecture-rooms.

The entire lower floor, forty by eighty feet in extent, is devoted to the department of Physical Culture. The exercise hall is adequately equipped with apparatus for the work of physical development. Adjoining the exercise hall, and opening into it, is the natatorium, containing shower baths and lockers, as well as a moderate sized swimming pool.

Residence Halls

There are four residence halls, in addition to two cottages, giving dormitory space for two hundred and seventy students. All these buildings are comfortably equipped, lighted by electricity and heated by steam, and all contain both double 106 Agnes Scott College

and single rooms. Each floor of every hall is furnished with conveniently placed groups of bath-rooms, with hot and cold water. All rooms are furnished with single beds, and other necessary equipment, including a clothes press or wardrobe

for each occupant. Abundant fire escapes, together with hose, fire buckets, and extinguishers on every floor, reduce to a

minimum the danger of fire; but as an additional precaution the residence halls are under the constant and careful super-

vision of a watchman who is on duty all of every night.

The Eebekah Scott Hall, a memorial to the late Mrs. Eebekah Scott, wife of Colonel George W. Scott, contains, besides two dormitory floors, the College Chapel, the halls of the two literary societies, a large dining-room, a commodious lobby, and various reception rooms. A colonnade con- nects this building with the Agnes Scott Hall and thus renders available for the latter building the dining-room of the former.

The Agnes Scott Hall contains, besides the administra-

tive offices, lecture-rooms, etc., above referred to, dormitory space for about seventy-five students.

The Jennie D. Inman Hall, a gift to the College of the late Samuel Martin Inman (for many years the honored Chairman of the Board of Trustees), as a memorial to his deceased wife, has three floors devoted entirely to bed-rooms.

The wide veranda of the building is extended to meet that

of the White House, in which is located the dining-room for

both these halls.

The White House affords accommodation for a number of the ladies of the faculty, and has besides limited space for General Information 107 the occupation of students. The entire lower floor of this building is occupied by the dining-room, kitchen, pantries, etc.

Two Cottages, situated on the campus, offer accommodation for about twenty students. These cottages are comfortably furnished and supplied with all modern conveniences. Assignments of space in them will be made only upon special request.

Auxiliary Buildings

The Alumnae Infirmary, a well-built two-story house, situated south of Lowry Hall, was added to the College plant through the efforts of the alumnae. The building has been arranged so that it is admirably adapted to its purpose. The rooms are large, well heated and lighted, and are furnished with all appliances necessary for a modern hospital.

In recognition of the generosity and affectionate interest of the alumnae in their Alma Mater, the Trustees have named the building The Alumnae Infirmary.

Electric and Steam Plant.—Electric light and steam heat are supplied to all the College buildings from a modern and well-equipped plant situated on the south border of the campus.

Steam Laundry.—A steam laundry, adjoining the electric and steam plant, is operated for the benefit of the College community. MEMORIAL FUNDS

The George W. Scott Foundation

In November, 1909, citizens of Decatur, in order to express their affectionate admiration of one of the town's most useful and public-spirited men, and at the same time to as- 108 Agnes Scott College sist in perpetuating the work of the College which had been so dear to his heart, contributed the sum of $29,000 for the establishment of "The George W. Scott Memorial Founda- tion," for the endowment of some department of the Col- lege, the exact disposition of the fund being left to the di- rection of the Board of Trustees. The income from this fund is for the present applied to the maintenance of the department of the English Bible.

The Lowry Foundation

As a tribute to the memory of their deceased son, Edwin Markham Lowry, Mr. and Mrs. Eobert J. Lowry, of Atlanta, have contributed to the College the sum of $25,000. The income from this fund is applied towards the maintenance of the natural sciences, and in recognition of the generosity of the donors, the science building has been given the name "Lowry Hall."

Scholarship Foundations The W. a. Moore Scholarship Fund.—Under the will of the late William A. Moore, a ruling elder of the First Presby- terian Church of Atlanta, the College received, in 1892, a legacy of $5,000. The will of Mr. Moore provides that "this sum shall be held as a permanent fund or endowment for the education at this College of worthy girls of Presby- terian parents who are unable to provide a collegiate education for ther daughters," the same to be permanently in- vested and only the interest used. Scholarships under this fund are annually awarded as directed by the provisions of Mr. Moore's will.

The Eugenia Mandeville Watkins Fund.—In memory of the late Mrs. Homer Watkins, formerly Miss Eugenia Mandeville, an early graduate of the College, her father. General Information 109

Mr. L. C. Mandeville, and her husband, Mr. Homer Watkins, have given to the College the sum of $6,500, to endow a scholarship. The income from this sum will be used to as- sist worthy and needy young women in securing an education in this College.

GENERAL SCHOLARSHIPS

The Collegiate Scholarship.—The College offers tuition for the next session to the student, in any class below Senior, who attains the highest general proficiency. In order to compete for this scholarship, the student must pursue a regular course. The scholarship is not transferable, and is good only for the session immediately succeeding the Com- mencement at which it is awarded.

The Alumna Scholarships.—The alumnse have caught the spirit of helpfulness which characterizes their Alma Mater, and have established two scholarship funds for the benefit of worthy applicants who are in need of such assistance. They have given to the College the sum of $1,000, the income from which is known as "The Alumnse Scholarship."

The amount of this aid is $60.00 annually. In addition to this, they have recently begun a fund, to be known as "The

Alumnae Loan Pund," the interest from which is to be used annually for the assistance of those who wish to borrow money for the completion of their courses in College. See page 130.

The Young Women's Christian Association Scholar- ship.—The Young Women's Christian Association of the Col- lege offers a loan amounting to $100.00 annually, to be applied to the expenses of a deserving student who needs financial help. The College greatly appreciates the generous spirit of co-operation which has prompted this movement on the 110 Agnes Scott College

part of the Association. For details as to the obtaining of this aid, communications should be addressed to the Presi- dent of the College.

Music and Akt Scholarships. — Scholarships paying tuition for one session in Piano, Voice Culture, and Art, are offered. For the conditions governing these awards, see pages 97, 99.

SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Through the generosity of friends a limited number of scholarships of the value of $100.00 each will be available for resident students in need of help for the session of 1917-1918. These scholarships are for one year only.

By another special arrangement the College will be able to aid a few resident students to the amount of $75.00 each.

All applications for scholarship aid should be addressed to the President.

THE LAURA CANDLER MEDAL

This medal is awarded to the student of Sophomore, Junior, or Senior grade who makes the highest average for the year

FELLOWSHIPS

Two fellowships are awarded by the faculty annually to members of the Senior class. These fellowships carry with them remuneration amounting to the recipients' entire expenses for one year, including tuition in any department of the College in which they may elect to continue their work.

The following conditions should be noted: '

General Infoemation 111

NOTES

All who have engaged rooms prior to the opening of the session will be charged from beginning of the session.

When a patron finds it necessary to defer payment of bills when due, special arrangements must be made with the President. In all such cases, the Board of Trustees has directed that notes be taken bearing five per cent, interest. The Laboratory fee must be paid on entering classes in Chemistry, Biology, Home Economics, or Physics for entire session, and will not be refunded. In addition a deposit of two dollars is required of Chemistry students. This will be refunded at the end of the session except so much as is necessary to pay for breakage of returnable apparatus. General Information 113

The Treasurer's receipt for both fees is required before admission to classes. The College employs a resident physician and a resident trained nurse. It also maintains an Infirmary with the conveniences of a modern hospital. The patrons are asked to share the expense of these arrangements for providing for their daughters in sickness, and safeguarding their health, by the payment of a medical fee of $5.00 for the session or any part thereof. Tliis fee is payable on entrance and will not be refunded, as all plans are made for the year.

The College provides a diet table, which is under the di- rect control of the resident physician. Students needing special diet are sent to this table for definite periods of time. If a prolonged stay seems necessary, an additional charge for board will be made, to defray the increased cost to the Col- lege.

No student will be received for less than a full term, or the portion of the term remaining after entrance. The professors are engaged and all arrangements made for the scholastic year, and the College obligates itself to furnish the advantages thus provided for the session. The entering of a student is a corresponding obligation on the part of the patron to continue the student to the end of the session. In the event of withdrawal on account of sickness of the student, the amount paid for board and laundry in advance of date of leaving will be refunded, hut not amount paid for tuition. Students who register for any Special and afterward decide to discontinue it, must give notice to the bookkeeper of such discontinuance within thirty days from date of registration. Written permission must be secured from the Dean before a student can drop any Special. 114 Agnes Scott College

All letters on business or concerning the general manage- ment of the College, or concerning any matter affecting the

welfare or interest of students should be addressed to the , President.

Letters concerning the life in the dormitories, or health,; or discipline should be addressed to the Dean.

N"0 DEDUCTION FOR ANY CAUSE WILL BE ALLOWED STUDENTS WITHDRAWING AFTER THE BEGINNING OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.

All drafts, checks, and money orders should be made payable to Agnes Scott College. If remittance is by local check, add twenty-j&ve cents for exchange.

It is recommended that a deposit of $10.00 be made with the bookkeeper to pay for books and stationery. These are sold at the College at city prices for cash. Patrons must not ask to have them charged and put on their bills, as no ac- counts are open on our books for charges of this kind.

It is hoped that parents will make only moderate allow- ance to their daughters for spending money. When money is deposited with the Treasurer for students, it is paid out on their checks, and no other account is kept by the College except cancelled checks.

The College will not advance money to students.

In cases of protracted sicJcness or contagious diseases, parents must provide a nurse at their own expense.

Patrons mu^t pay for medicines and for consultations.

A fee of $5.00 is charged for diploma and $2.00 for certificate.

All dues to the College must he paid hefore either diploma or certificate will he awarded. General Information 115

The College exercises every precaution to protect property of students, but will not be responsible for losses of any kind.

For the accommodation of students and teachers the Col- lege receives packages for them, and the utmost care is taken to have these packages properly delivered to the owners, but the College will not be responsible for any losses that may occur.

It is a pleasure to extend, as far as possible, the hospitality of the College to patrons and friends. In all cases, however, visitors are the guests of the College and not of individuals. All connected with the College, therefore, who desire to invite friends are requested to arrange with the Dean. Visitors, except alumnae, remaining longer than three days will be charged for such entertainment.

Discounts

When two or more boarding students are entered from the same family, a discount of five per cent, is allowed on total bills, except laboratory fees. When a student takes two musics, or music and art, a discount of ten per cent, on "Specials" taken will be allowed, except laboratory fees.

Students holding College scholarships will not be given any further discounts.

In no case will two discounts be given the same student.

A discount of $100 on tuition will be made to ministers regularly engaged in their calling who send their daughters as boarding students. All other charges, including branches under the head Special, will be at regular rates.

To ministers regularly engaged in their calling, who send their daughters as day students, a discount of ten per cent, will be given on tuition. Branches under the head Special will be charged for at catalogue rates. 116 Agnes Scott College

no discount will be allowed either boarding or day students for absence from any cause except sickness of the students, and that only when the absence is for as long a period as one month.

Parents must not expect to pay onhj for the time their daughters are in actual attendance. No student will be received for less than a quarter of the session, and then only by special arrangement with the President.

No reduction will he made for holidays. Students not returning after Christmas will he charged to end of term.

The boarding department will be closed during the Christ- mas holidays. One dormitory will be kept open and arrangements for meals can be made.

Furniture

The College supplies the students' rooms with bedstead, bureau, wardrobe, washstand, chairs, mattress, pillows, and crockery. Each student should bring with her sheets, blankets, counterpanes, pillow-cases (35 x 22), towels, napkins, napkin- ring, teaspoon, and any articles, as rugs, curtains, etc., of use or ornament desired for her room. The bed clothing should be the size used for single or three-quarter beds.

All articles, including trunks, must be plainly and durably marked with the name of the owner. Failure to comply with this requirement causes great inconvenience and some- times loss.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

The student organizations and publications occupy a most important place in the community life of the College, and are commended as valuable educational aids in the work of training young women for the highest efficiency. It will be evident that these enterprises entail a certain amount of General Information 117 financial expenditure. In order to reduce this expense to a minimum, and at the same time to insure the continued life and activity of the various necessary developments of the student body, a general co-operative plan has been devised by the students, which was put into operation by them for the first time in the beginning of the session of 1916-17.

This plan is as follows : At some time in the early fall, an opportunity is given to all students to contribute five dollars ($5.00) towards the general support of College community enterprises for the fall semester. At the beginning of the spring semester, a similar opportunity is given for a similar contribution for the remainder of the session. Thus, by the paying of ten dollars ($10.00) in the course of the year, the student is relieved of the frequent assessments which will otherwise be necessary. This contribution is, of course, entirely voluntary, but it would be well for those who are interested in the activities described below to understand approximately what financial demand will be made upon them,

and to come prepared to meet it.

Note.—The organizations here named are those involving tlie entire student body. The various other organizations, literary, dramatic, honorary and social, are, of course, limited in membership and so are not covered by the $10.00 of the budget system.

Organizations The Student Government Association.—This organization, based upon a charter granted by the faculty, has for

its purpose the ordering and control of the dormitory life and of most other matters not strictly academic. Its mem-

bership includes all the students. The most gratifying results have continually followed the increase of opportunity 118 Agnes Scott College and of responsibility thus given to the students, especially in the development of self-restraint, consideration for the ma- jority, and the true co-operative spirit.

Young Women's Christian Association.—The objects of this Association are:

To develop the spiritual life of the students.

To co-operate with other student associations in the general work of the Y. W. C. A.

To do all possible to advance the Kingdom of God.

The various departments of Association work are well organized and render efficient service. The Association has the sympathetic interest and support of the faculty, while the student body, with few exceptions, are members. The leaders among the students are also the leaders in this work, and thus the organization wields a large influence for good.

Debating Societies.—Two debating societies contribute much to the social life and literary attainments of the students. The Mnemosynean Society was organized in 1891 and the Propylean Society in 1897. Each society has a beau- tiful and attractive hall appropriately furnished and admirably adapted to its purpose.

Athletic Association.—Athletic sports, not including the regular gymnastic classes, are managed by the Athletic As- sociation. Interclass basket-ball is the leading sport in the fall and winter months, while the annual tennis tournament is the spring event. An athletic field affords excellent op- portunities for outdoor basket-ball, tennis, and field hockey. :

General Information 119

Publications

The students issue the following publications

The Aurora.—This is a monthly magazine devoted to the development of literary effort among the students.

The Silhouette.—This is the annual published by the student body. It is intended to give, in humorous and artistic vein, a record of the student life for the current year.

The Agonistic.—A weekly newspaper published by the student body. It has as its object the promotion of loyalty to the College and the dissemination of local news.

The Y. W. C. A. Handbook.—A manual of information issued annually by the Association, chiefly for the benefit of new students. RELIGIOUS LIFE

Every effort is made to promote earnest and pronounced religious life in the College. Students are requested to select the church they desire to make their church home as soon as practical after arrival. Ordinarily this must be the church of their parents. They are expected to attend this church on Sunday morning. Attendance on daily morning prayers is required. The Young Women's Christian Association holds a service in the chapel every Sunday evening and also conducts mission study classes. Evening prayers are conducted in the chapel daily. The students have prayer-meetings of their own. Be- sides there is a regular mid-week prayer-meeting conducted by visiting ministers.

APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE

The faculty has appointed a Committee with a view to assisting Agnes Scott students in securing positions. All 120 Agnes Scott College

graduates and other students of the College who desire to

teach are invited to apply for registration blanks, fill them

out and file them with this Committee. Address, Miss Anna Young, Secretary, Decatur, Ga.

ALUMN/E ASSOCIATION

During the Commencement of 1895 the Agnes Scott Alumnae Association was organized. The object of the Asso- ciation is to strengthen the interest of those who have been connected with the institution, in each other and in the Col-

lege, to place them in a helpful relation toward it, and to arouse and quicken the interest in Christian education. The Association has established a loan fund, and will lend money to students who need to borrow in order to complete their college course. Only Juniors and Seniors and students who have not more than two years of work to secure a degree or a certificate may borrow from the fund. Not more than $150.00 will be lent to any student in one year. No interest will be charged till one year after the borrower has finished her college course. From that date all unpaid loans or parts of loans will begin to draw interest at six per cent, until paid.

Applications for loans should be made to the President of the Association through the President of the College.

The ofiBcers of the Association are : Mrs. C. W. Dieckmann, President; Miss Eachel Young, Vice-President; Miss Flora Crowe, Secretary; Miss Margaret Phythian, Treasurer. Commencement Awards 121
